Romans 5:10–20 (ESV) Back
10For if while we were enemies we were
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are
reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11More than that, we also rejoice in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received
reconciliation. 12Therefore, just as sin came into the world through
one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all
sinned— 13for sin indeed was in the world before the law was
given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even
over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type
of the one who was to come. 15But the free gift is not like the
trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace
of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for
many. 16And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the
judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift
following many trespasses brought justification. 17For if, because of one man’s trespass,
death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the
abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the
one man Jesus Christ. 18Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for
all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all
men. 19For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the
one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20Now the law came in to increase the
trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
Romans 5:10-20 (KJ3) Back
10 For if while being
hostile ones we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son,
much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life;
11 and not only so, but also
glorying in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now received the
reconciliation.
12 Because of this, even as sin
entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death passed
to all men, inasmuch as all sinned.
13 For sin was in the world
until Law, but sin is not imputed there not being law;
14 but death reigned from Adam
until Moses, even on the ones not sinning on the likeness of Adam’s
transgression, who is a type of the One coming.
15 But not as the deviation, so also
is the free gift. For if by the deviation of the one the many died, much more
the grace of God, and the gift in grace, which is of the one Man, Jesus
Christ, abounded to the many.
16 And the gift is not as
through one having sinned; for indeed the judgment was of one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many deviations to justification.
17 For if by the deviation of the
one death reigned through the one, much more the ones receiving the
abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by the
One, Jesus Christ.
18 So therefore, as through one
deviation came to all men to condemnation, so also through one effected
righteousness came to all men to justification of life.
19 For as through the one man’s
disobedience the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience
of the One the many shall be constituted righteous.
20 But Law came in besides, that
the deviation might abound; but where sin abounded, grace much more abounded,
Romans 5:10–20 (NASB95) Back
10For if while we were enemies we were
reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been
reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11And not only this, but we also exult in
God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the
reconciliation. 12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered
into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because
all sinned— 13for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is
not imputed when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until
Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of
Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15But the free gift is not like the
transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more
did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ,
abound to the many. 16The gift is not like that which came through the
one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression
resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many
transgressions resulting in justification. 17For if by the transgression of the one,
death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One,
Jesus Christ. 18So then as through one transgression there
resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness
there resulted justification of life to all men. 19For as through the one man’s disobedience
the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many
will be made righteous. 20The Law came in so that the transgression would increase;
but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
Romans 5:10-20 (WEB) Back
10 For if, while we were enemies, we were
reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we
will be saved by his life.
11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in
God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the
reconciliation.
12 Therefore as sin entered into the world through
one man, and death through sin; so death passed to all men, because all sinned.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but
sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until
Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a
foreshadowing of him who was to come.
15 But the free gift isn’t like the trespass.
For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of
God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the
many.
16 The gift is not as through one who sinned:
for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many
trespasses to justification.
17 For if by the trespass of the one, death
reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus
Christ.
18 So then as through one trespass, all men
were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were
justified to life.
19 For as through the one man’s disobedience
many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be
made righteous.
20 The law came in besides, that the trespass
might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;
